Tasting Notes

Colour

dark amber

air Nose

you would have believed this ex-Pedro would be much sweeter even on the nose, but that's not really the case, we're rather on dark chocolate, grenache, Châteauneuf-du-Pape (not obligatorily Rayas, mind you), morello cherries, coffee, amaretti… It's clearly got something Italian, and of course we shan't complain. With water: yesss. Pu-her and some marvellous touches of rubber and fumes. Nasty on the paper, fabulous in really life

restaurant Palate

hold on, this is massively classic. Sultanas, dried figs, dried dates, armagnac, prunes, chocolate… With water: exceptional. Best of Speysi… I mean Taiwan. I would have said middle-aged ex-great-sherry Glenfarclas, honestly (with due apologies to all brand owners). I fondly remember some 1988s and 1989s

timer Finish

long, perfect sherry and brandiness
